Exodus 17:8-16

Thomson(i) 8 Now Amalek had come and made war on Israel at Raphidin, 9 upon which Moses said to Joshua, Select for thyself able men and go out and draw up in array to-morrow against Amalek; when lo I have stood on the top of that hill with the staff of God in my hand. 10 So Joshua did as Moses commanded him. And when he had gone out and drawn up in array against Amalek, and Moses and Aaron and Hur had gone up to the top of the hill, 11 it came to pass that when Moses held up his hands Israel prevailed; but when he let down his hands Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses hands were heavy, therefore they took a stone and put it under him and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, one on one side, and the other, on the other. So his hands were stayed up till the going down of the sun 13 and Joshua discomfited Amalek and his whole people with the slaughter of the sword. 14 Then the Lord said to Moses, Write this in a book to keep it in remembrance; and rehearse it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will entirely blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. 15 And Moses built an altar to the Lord and called its name, The Lord my refuge; 16 because with a secret hand the Lord fighteth against Amalek from generation to generation.
